Read & Watch: Felix's Dad Is Sending Him Back To School
FAA的爸希望他能兼顧課業
NextGenATP Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime is taking the ATP Tour by storm.
Trips to the Rio de Janeiro final and Miami semi-finals have helped the
18-year-old climb from outside the Top 100 in the ATP Rankings in February
into the Top 35.
Many teenagers would be wondering what they could do with the more than
$650,000 Felix has earned so far this year. But his father Sam Aliassime, who
began playing tennis with him at five, has something else in mind for his
son, who is the 16th seed at this week's Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.
“My dad messaged me the other day and said ‘I have three pieces of advice:
Keep working hard, stay the same person and find a school’,”
Auger-Aliassime said. “He wants me to go back to school, so I have to find
an online school now. Having these kinds of people around you helps you stay
the same person.
“I’m lucky to have great people around me. They’re always saying the right
things and helping me do the right work.”
新生代的加拿大人FAA在最近的巡迴賽中引發了一股旋風。
里約打到決賽,邁阿密打到準決賽,這兩件大事讓18歲的加拿大人在二月時從100名開外衝
到35名。
很多青少年會羨慕FAA到目前為止賺到的65萬美元,但FAA的爸,從五歲開始和FAA一起打球
的Sam,對FAA有些想法。
(另外FAA是巴塞隆納的16種子)
FAA:「我爸傳訊息給我,說:『我有三個建議:(1) 持續認真、努力;(2) 不要改變初心
(這邊應該是說不要自我膨脹,維持和過去一樣的自己的意思);(3) 找個學校。』
我爸希望我繼續學業,所以我要來找個線上學校。然後讓我的團隊持續維持我應該有的樣
子,我很慶幸我有這麼棒的一群人在我身邊,他們總是會告訴我對的事,並且協助我做對
的事。」
Expectations have followed Auger-Aliassime since he became the youngest
player to win an ATP Challenger Tour match at 14. The top players in the
sport — including Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev, the man
who beat him in the second round at Monte-Carlo — have been touting his
abilities. But the only person who has avoided the hype is Felix himself.
“I never expected that I was going to be here this early. That was always my
dream and I’m still following it,” Auger-Aliassime said. “Even just a few
months ago, I was trying to break into the Top 100 and maybe thinking about
Top 50 at the end of the year. [It's great] being in the Top 30, but there
was also a lot of work put behind it. I’m just enjoying myself now.”
Felix will try to make his mark at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, an ATP
500 tournament in Spain. He will face German Philipp Kohlschreiber or
Tunisian Malek Jaziri in his opening match, and could potentially play fourth
seed and two-time champion Kei Nishikori in the third round.
“The draw is so strong that it’s a bit like an [ATP] Masters 1000 event. I
would love to get through the first rounds here,” Auger-Aliassime said. “
Being seeded for the first time is a bit different and a nice feeling, but I
can’t focus too much on results because I don’t have my marks here. It’s a
new tournament for me, so I just want to keep competing well and play my game.
”
FAA是最年輕贏得ATP挑戰賽的球員(14歲),網球中的頂尖球員,Nadal、Federer、小Z
,都對FAA讚不絕口(雖然MC FAA在第二輪輸給小Z),但唯一避免把自己抬得過高的是
FAA本人。
「我從來都沒想過我會這麼早就達到這樣的成就。這是我的夢想,我仍然追求他。就在
幾個月前,我嘗試打入前100名,並且考慮在年底時可以進入前50。能進入前30真的太棒
了.還有很多工作是要認真完成的,我現在就是享受比賽、做自己。」
FAA將嘗試在500分的巴塞隆納賽事中打響他的名號,他將在首場比賽對上突尼西亞人
Jaziri,如果進入第三輪將會碰到賽會第四種子、兩屆冠軍,錦織 圭。
「這籤表很豪華,有點像1000分大師賽的陣容。我很開心能參賽,第一次有種子的感覺有
點奇妙,但感覺很好,不過我不能過分關注這些事,因為我在這裡還只是新人,從未有經
驗,所以我只想保持高度的競爭力和打出好比賽。」
The 6’4” right-hander will take confidence from his recent consistency,
winning at least two matches in each of his past four tournaments.
Auger-Aliassime claimed his first win against a Top 10 opponent at the BNP
Paribas Open in Indian Wells, where he defeated reigning Next Gen ATP Finals
champion Stefanos Tsitsipas.
“It helped that I knew him from the juniors. For me to win that first match
[against Tsitsipas on the ATP Tour] is important because it was a bit of a
statement that we can also win and compete with these top guys,”
Auger-Aliassime said. “It gave me confidence, but I’ve played him before,
so it wasn’t a big surprise.”
Felix is not looking any further than the match in front of him. But with
only 45 points to defend through Roland Garros, Auger-Aliassime has an
opportunity to make even more noise.
193公分的右撇子在最近他穩定的比賽中取得了信心,他在過去四場巡迴賽中至少贏得兩場
比賽,FAA在IW首次擊敗TOP 10球員--新生代小年終冠軍Tsitsipas。
「從小就認識他是對我有幫助的。對我來說,在ATP巡迴賽贏得第一場對上Tsitsipas的比
賽是很重要的,因為這是一個開端,表示我們可以跟頂尖球員競爭。
這給了我信心,不過青少年時期我曾和他交手,所以這並沒有讓我有太大的驚喜感。」
FAA在紅土賽季並無壓力,只有法網需保45分,FAA有機會在本次紅土賽季大放異彩。
